She went immediately into defensive mode - that intimidating bark/growl, all the hair on her back standing on end. That position I am sure you all know. While holding her position, she then kicked her rear feet out behind her (somewhat similar to the maneuver we see often when dogs "cover their poo").

After more then 10 years in rescue, it has me wondering if this is a normal behavior in Boxers I haven't seen before and does anyone know what it might mean.
